The Light Summer Sweater! I was just looking at it the other day, lol! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the color of this yarn & I LOVE working with cotton! Thank you Pickles for your generosity!
I think I would make a hairpin shawl and some accessories like a necklace and bracelet with some beads and even some some flowers for pins or hair.
I would make a beautiful shawl!! This yarn looks amazing to work with! 🙂
Love the Light Summer Sweater for myself but I think I’d use the yarn to make one or more prayer shawls to donate to our church. We have a great group of ladies that knits these for donation to those grieving a loss, experiencing a personal crisis or illness or to give to local charities like the hospital burn unit, the cancer center or the childrens hospital. Would love to win!!
I think that I would finally make a sweater for myself. I have made many things over the years, but nothing for me.
Prayer shawls for cancer patients in Grand Rapids Mi! I’m a survivor and this is how I give back!
definitely a shawl – I have a pattern waiting for DK yarn!
This would be great for knitting a short sleeved summer cardigan for myself. Thanks so much for the chance!

I would make a shawl for my Sister in law, my oldest brother died of cancer in April and his wife who has stood by him these many years through diagnosis, surgery, remission and recurrence deserves something special for being there when the rest of his family could not.

This yard looks like a beautiful texture and weight. I will make a spectacular original shawl!
A nice shawl or scarf comes to my mind, but maybe a sweater-the color is so beautiful!
I’m allergic to wool so this will go right on the needles to make a wondreful lacy t I’ve been eyeing!
I would probably make some type of clothing for my grandson since he seems to be at the in between sizes right now. Or even make some doggie clothes for my shih tzus. Too many items that I could make with it. The yarn is a very pretty color and would be pretty done up into any pattern.
I would make a lightweight lap blanket inspired by the “Tree of Life” afghan, but I have always wanted to try making up my own pattern and a blanket seems like a good place to start, so I would work up my own tree motif.
I’ve never knitted a sweater and I don’t usually keep what I knitted, so I would knitted the light weight summer sweater for myself.
I wouyld definatley knit this awesome jumper (shown in your picture) for my grandaughter and a matching scarf for myself. I think this jumper is just so beautiful, I can see my grandaughter in it right now. She would wear it everywhere.

I would make something intirely selfish, something just for me. Seems I am always knitting something for family or ‘a cause’ but never anything that lives here with me. It does sound selfish when seeing it in type, but would be nice for just a little change.
Love the purple…….a sweater is a tad bit warm for Texas living but a shawl would work for any season.

I have been drooling over M’Lou Baber’s Double Knitting: Reversible Two-Color Designs. Most of these patterns call for DK weight yarn to reduce the bulkiness of the jackets and wraps. But most patterns call for nearly 20 skeins of yarn! If I win, I could afford to order 10 skeins of a contrasting color to complete one of these amazing patterns!

I am constantly crocheting this year to make for 9 children and 13 grandchildren for Christmas. Positive I can find something for one of the adults. A nice sweater comes to mind.
